MACHINE FOR BOTTLING POWDERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 283,313, dated August14, 18 83.

, Application filed-Tannery 24, 18 83. .(No rpct lr l l To all whom'z'tum-y concern-.-

Be it known that 1', (ll- ARREST WILTsE,"a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Machines for Bottli ng Powders, of whichthe l'ollowing'is a specification.

The object of this invention is to produce a machine for lilling bottleswith powder, for cooking or other purposes; and it consists in the novelconstruction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, whereby,among other things, a shaking motion is imparted to the bottle orbottles as the powder is dep'osited therein, so that the powderiscompacted in the required manner.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure l represents a vertical longitudinal seetinn Fig. 2 is a verticalcross-section. Fig. 3 is an inverted plan. view of a portion of thebottleholder. Fig. 4 is a similar view ofthe feedhopper, showing thevalve-operating lever.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

The letter A designates u hopper, the bottom of which is providedwith'holes 5, (one or more, l'or leeding the powder that may be put init to the bottles.- At the proper distance benemnlrthc .ht lllllol' is aholder, B, for

receiving the bottles 10 be filled, and next be- .neath this holder aretappets which are adapted to act on the bottles eontained in the holder,while next below the tappcts are revolving cams l), servi n to impartthereto the required i'notion, the cams being fixed .to a shaft, E.

In the hopper A arranged a revolving agitator, (i, consisting" of ashaft carrying oblique vanes .0, which are arranged in longitudinalrows, with those of one-half of the series of rows extending in anopposite direction to those of the :r'emaimler as to their obliqueangles, so that these vane, at. i e a tendency to move or propel thepowder contained in the hopper in opposite d i rections'l en'gthwisethereof, cans! ng it to pnssand repnss the discharge. holes 5, and thusto be unilornily distributed. ()n the bottom of the hopper is arranged asliding valve. ll, which connii on to the series of dischargt'a holrss,it being" provided with holes r, adapted to register with thedii-iehargehides, and to this valve is connected a lever,

I, for adjusting the same lie its open orelosed position. I

The bottle-holder B consists of a frame or box having holes '1, for theintroduction and guidance of the bottles, and having parallel bars-'5,which serve to support the bottles, and between which the tappets arearranged to work, Said tappets are hung to a common shaft, f, in aproper manner to be acted on by the cams l), and the tappet-shat'tisparallel to the cam-shaft, while both shafts are in the longitudinalplane of the hopper.

- \Vhen the machine is applied to use, the bottles are placed on theirsupports 1 in the holder, the valve H is set to open thedischargeorifices .s', and a revolving motion is imparted to thecam-shad; E and agitator G. In this manner the powder is deposited intothe bot,- tles from the hopper, while at the same time the bottles'are'shaken, due to the action of the tappets (1, and it ibllews that thepowder is compacted,i pth e hottlrs,so' that when filled and removedfrom the machine they are ready to be stoppcrcd. The cams l) arearranged in the proper manner to net on the tappcts successively, fromone to the other end of the machinenso that the series ofbott-les areshaken one after theother. The l'n'ittle-holder B rests onled'ges n ofthe machine-flame, and may be slid outwaitill tfdei-eon td iaermit theintroduction of the scales, the inner or normal position. of the holderbeing determined by a stop, n, against which it abuts.

What I cla' 1121's new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

inga series of holes ar *anged in longitudinal row in its bottom, aholder constructed to receive a series of bottles which are capable ofbeing sinmltaneousiy filled from the hopper, and devices for imparting ashaking motion to all the bottles simultaneously, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination of the stationary 110pper,-' an i tgitatorarrangedtherein, a bottleh'older amnes a. standin a stationary positionwhile in use, and iiiechanism acting directlv on p the bottles to shakethem in the stationary bottle-holder, subst-antiallyms de scribed. I i
